And, we see what kind of parent you are when we are the ones volunteering in the classroom to catch up your child to grade level as you don't work with them at home.  Its pretty sad but its easier to delegate parenting to others than do it yourself.[/quote]

Different poster here. My child doesn't need you nosing around his reading level and telling him what books are right for him. I do my job at home and the teacher should keep you away from my child. [/quote]

I could not careless about reading levels as they are not very accurate.  I help where the teacher says to help.  I'd probably prefer not to help your kid but I do what is asked of me as that is where I am needed.  [/quote]

It was very rude of you to imply that PP was a bad parent and not working with his/her kids at home, and that you were a good one who were helping said underachieving kids. You also brought the reading level nonsense into the picture by saying you would help "catch up" the child, so it's rather hypocritical to then state that you couldn't care less about them. As a teacher, I'd prefer not to have parents in my classroom who thought they were better than other parents because they happened to have work schedules and financial situations that allowed them to enter my classroom. I'd be especially loathe to have any who believed parents who didn't believe in homework were bad parents and weren't helping their children.[/quote]

As a teacher, if you gave the kids more support in the classroom and did stronger academics and teaching, technically it would not be an issue.  If you cannot take 20 minutes and help with your child's homework, then you need to make some adjustments or consider should you have had kids if you don't have the time for them.  There is a big difference from a low income parent who is working multiple jobs and surviving or does not have great English skills to ones who don't believe in homework or refuse to help their kids.  Volunteering is different than homework help.  You clearly cannot separate the two.  But, then again, you are probably like our children's teachers who just put the kids on the computers to play games so you don't have to be bothered teaching.[/quote]
